uShaka Marine World

In January 2004 Sea World closed its doors to the public and
reopened as uShaka Marine World, which has become the largest
marine theme park in Africa. The park is tastefully themed with
African imagery and has five zones offering entertainment, dining,
a variety of shops, water slides and access to uShaka Beach. Wet 'n
Wild offers eight water rides, ranging from heart-stopping,
adrenalin-pumping rides to lazy activities for the less
adventurous. Sea World has an aquarium with thousands of fish,
reptiles, and aquatic mammals on display; a dolphinarium that
performs regular musical shows; a penguin rookery; and underwater
activities like snorkelling and the 'shark walk'. The Village Walk
features the new Dangerous Creatures exhibit, with spiders, snakes,
frogs, scorpions and other poisonous creatures. Rayz Kids World
gives kids a place to burn off energy with massive jungle gyms and
climbing structures. For adults, Moyo offers an oasis at the end of
the pier with a brand-new double-story bar right over the water.
uShaka is in South Beach, so you can walk there along the beach, or
take a bus or taxi. The area can be dangerous, but once inside the
park security is good and it's perfectly safe. Lockers can be
rented to keep belongings safe.
